New guy here learning photography. Shot this one on a whim waiting for my wife and kids at DISNEY

You have certainty captured my exact affinity for blue. The white flower looks a little over-exposed on my monitor, and a little out of focus. Shakey hands?
Again, fantastic colors (blueeeeeeee!!).
Hope you had a fun time in Disneyland!

The blue is just outstanding, though Japaslavian is right, the flower seems a little out of focus? But I just can't get over the blue, stunning!

[curtiswheat]

yes it ended up a little out of focus. Just bought a 300mm and was just a bit down the bank a little and was a little overcast. Not the best settings for handholding.

Hi, curtiswheat!
First of all, i want to say that i took the liberty to retouch your shot by doing some advanced sharpening in photoshop. I hope it's O.K. for you that i did so. If not, i do apologize.


By the way, this is a great shot. I love it! The only minus was the unfocus part that the other forum members pointed out. You did well! I would have like to read your exif. Can i use it as wallpaper?

[curtiswheat]

Feel free to use it as wallpaper. Edit is fine for forum or personal use. And on the exif data is there an easy way to extract using photoshop or lightroom?

[Drax]

Thanks man!
For the EXIF, try to look in the details tab of the properties of your original pictures (right click). photoshop and lightroom can also show it.

This is a great shot, as said before, the colour is outstanding. This is what I love about these forums, you always see something to inspire you. This is not a type of shot I would have looked for, but I will be doing so from now on. Thanks for sharing

I agree never would look for it and personally not sure I would have recognized it as a great shot even if i did see it...but likewise I will now be looking for similar comps. I really love where it enters the water.....
